Club History

Organised football in Chertsey dates back to the Victorian era, with the club formally founded in 1890. Early sides played at several locations around the parish before settling at Alwyns Lane in 1926. The ground was made available through the support of Sir Edward Stern, whose involvement helped establish a permanent sporting home for the club and its neighbours.

Chertsey built their foundations in Surrey football and won the Surrey Senior League title in 1960, later competing in a succession of regional leagues as the non-league pyramid changed. The club’s history includes periods of progress in the Isthmian League and a return to stronger form in the modern era. Their rise through the divisions has been supported by the continuity of Alwyns Lane and the work of people around the club.
